Looking at Cos dresses and they all look like something you would wear to the Mars colony.

Think a day trip back to Cambridge would be nice but I might feel really out of place with the students to remind me it was all almost a decade ago. But I get nostalgic for it like I do for nowhere else even if it wasn't amazing at the time.

I think I've discovered the melancholy at the heart of existence again 👍

(Going to see a band I like) this is a cool room. I hope they start to constantly email me about every single event that goes on in here.

All politics is identity politics 👍

Archaeologists have long speculated on the purpose of these grave goods but they undoubtedly served some kind of ritual purpose.

Is this mystical amulet intended to keep the death bringer at bay?

Brought my dad a cup of tea and caught him in the act of watching YouTube videos on his desktop about "WORST worker mistakes"

I have no takes about Minnesota I just feel a sense of crushing despair about it

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

My first and last name alliterate and so do those of my new boss, my driving instructor and my dentist. I feel like I'm a character in a children's book at this point.

Discovered another inevitably mediocre BBC thriller audio drama from a few years ago to listen to while WFH, muhahahaha

Has Vance done a snarky "uhhhhh actually you guys" about this yet

Thinking about the very particular smell the Loire had in the evening.

Why do we have one throw pillow that doesn’t match the others?

Yes I like my local library but people rave about, say, borrowing ebooks from your library, which depends on the quality of the ebooks your library chooses to stock! And mine has a rubbish selection that they've very recently culled so it's even worse than before.

Sure, seal in shed, why not.

One of the worst types of people there is is "person who's tried to have an intellectual veneer for supporting Trump", who likes to use terms like "agentic" and "priors" and is probably as we speak posting "You can just do things" about ICE shooting people.

Got an email from the church whose Sunday school I used to help with. Subject line: "Please Pray". Very ominous! Body of email "tomorrow we are interviewing several candidates for the post of operations coordinator"

Why are John and Paul in the Roman canon but not George and Ringo

Really helpful pic, this.

So cold in church we could see our breath so obviously we had to do the longest version possible of everything

Not saying Facebook is beyond repair but my boyfriend got this on his feed

- tfw you did badly out of Secret Santa

Middle English lyrics all live in the same part of my head and it's very melancholy and misty in there

When my dad starts a sentence with "Hello Little Penny" that's when you know he's about to say some absolute nonsense to the cat he definitely didn't want.

Oh boy, another circular discourse about whether or not Bluesky is too hostile to new users that will go nowhere because this site obviously needed private accounts a year ago

A mutual back in 2017 used to complain about his weird lecturer Justin Murphy. And now look.

I've lost the screenshot but I once googled "Gavin and Stacey episodes with Doris" and the summary hallucinated me several including "the very best of Doris" and "Oh! Dor! Where's the salad?"

My Christian faith means I love it when twelve guys (gender neutral) all hang out in a room

The more I do my family tree on my mum's side the more I understand those Americans who feel they've had lifelong ancestral links with Ireland. Except for Staffordshire. Always fascinated by Staffordshire and seems a lot of my family were from all over it.

Getting HEADSHOTS done for my new job soon. I've made it, Ma! I'm a professional!

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

A lot of you have opinions on whether Kamala Harris would have done this and I simply shall not be reading them!

Not now, North Korea

I swear to god, a kid I went to high school with who was posting the “Harris will send me to war” memes reposted this with “we’re so back”

Guess what we're doing on Tuesday evening for our Epiphany BCP service

I'm going to come out and say it: I don't think Kamala Harris would have done this.

Every year, Cambridge Imprint sell a pack of charity Christmas cards with a print design of these carvings.

I can find Venezuela on a map so guessing I can just give my views as I like

Met a large German shepherd puppy today. Very well behaved. But SO huge!

Being censored (Bluesky isn't letting me post the cursed Cliff Richard merchandise from the charity shop)

Can't believe I posted this before he kidnapped another head of state

They WHAT Maduro?

Thinking again about Le Jour de la Marmotte
